I don't know if this is just a placebo effect, but it feels like there's a lot more socialization and faster upvotes in the past hour Sync was released.

Prolly true! I am here via Sync and wouldn't be otherwise

I didn't particularly like any of the apps for Lemmy, while they all offered some of the features I wanted, none offered all in a single package.

That, coupled with the clunkyness and bugs that come along with the territory of new developers building something for the first time (which is not a knock against them), I just didn't really enjoy trying to use Lemmy.

I'm mainly waiting for Boost, but I like to try the new Lemmy apps hoping to find a great one, and Sync is certainly the best so far, with a robust feature and settings set that does everything I need it to.

So that's why I'm spending a little more time here now, I guess! Lemmy is only as good as the app that acts as it's interface after all, and as the apps improve and become less of a chore to use, so will user retention.

I'll be honest, I still check reddit on my pc (much less than I used to), but mobile was dead to me. Having a decent app for the fediverse makes it much easier to navigate, especially when the app is familiar.

I'd say so, I was using liftoff and it just didn't work as seamless as this beta does so it makes me want to use it more ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Stupid question maybe, but If i try to submit a new Post with sync it tells me to try again later? Or have i missed sth?

I just tried to use reddit via third party app, then got reminded that it's over. Decided to check out whatever still works and found Sync for Lemmy, wondering if it's similar. Turns out, it's even better lol

I'll check Sync out if I ever start having issues with Thunder. Don't know why it isn't as popular as other apps.
